I just downloaded and installed the latest version of "Real Player" called "Real One".
Real

Man, I can plug into radio stations around the world with a 56 k modem conection LOL and FAST!. Without having Real Player stick me with a bunch of preselected stations I decided to surf the Alternative section and have more stations from more countries than I can choose from and they are quality tagged in colors (much like the terrorist codes LOL, hey I didn't say that!)
I am listening to Tocotronic on 3 voor 12 from The Netherlands...kinda bubble-gummy for Alternative but it is really cool to get to hear how the rest of the world sounds. :D

With the new Realplayer you should go to www.mp3.com

Actually I have spent a good portion of the time since posting this looking for a site whose name I could not remember for one and who moved for another LOL.
Musical Starstreams The exotic side of radio :D
But Winamp was set as the defalut for their format once I found them and it was skipping and sticking like mad LOL. I have Real Player playing it now. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Now if I could just figure out how to add it to my library [img]smile.gif[/img]

Call me crazy but isn't downloading music that you don't own considered a crime according to copyright laws. I'm not too clear on the whole issue. Just remembering stuff from the whole napster fiasco.

I am listening to streaming audio...big difference from downloading MP3's!
Most MP3 sites today either charge you to download or allow you to listen in a format you cannot save.

I did figure out how to add Musical Starstreams to my library and now when I click it, Real Player will connect to it on the internet and save nothing to my hard drive beyond the url in the library.

Now to make a note to listen in on Sunday nights LOL

It's not downloading music, it's using the internet to listen to radio stations - no different than using a receiver to pick up radio signals. Not illegal at all.

Moni stop using that ancient technology and get with the times!!!! Click on this link and make sure that your favourite music player is set on repeat. Hours of enjoyment here! Heck, weeks and months even!!!

LMAO! Gee, Thanks for that added damage to my delicate audio receptacles Bokken! ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]
My cats say "What the ....?!" [img]graemlins/1dizzy.gif[/img]

My pleasure! Don't ever say I never tried to take the boredom outta ya *LOL*

And your cats love it......they just won't admit it *nods*

Those cats are evil I tell ya.......EEEEEEVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL

btw I still think someone oughta get you a guest house here in IW or something *LOL*

LOL Hey I actually slept during what people would call normal hours today: 3 a.m. til 8 a.m.
I know I'll be going to bed early tonight and thank goodness LOL school starts next week.

Rub it in why don't you! 3:21am here atm and there's nothing on tv unless you want a Roast Machine or a Chuck Norris Gym Set *LOL*
Won't be long now though. Another few hours and I'd probably be off to bed.

LMAO Go for the Chuckie Gym Set! No! The Roast Machine! No! Get them both! Eat lots of roast and work yourself to the edge of cardiac arrest on the Gym Set...what a rush! It could be really fun! Make a party out of it and invite all your friends!
:D
Sweet Dreams when you get there, Bokken. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Good for you Moni!! [img]smile.gif[/img] But I can do that with IE6... Under Favorites/media I´ve got a radio guide which will allow me to "tap in" to stations all over the world. I don´t know if it comes with windows media player though...

Actually it's a showtime Rotisserie. Set it and forget it. Takes 10 minutes per LB and you get a free flavour injector. Should call the buggers up and tell them I'd buy one if they tell me how quick it would cook a giraffe.

And trust me I don't need to eat roast for a cardiac arrest. Try going to bed at dawn and you got a horde of psychopathic birds out of your window screaming like there's another world war going on. That will do it way before any roast will!

[img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
I have tried to avoid using IE anything in the past but it looks like I will need to upgrade so that I can be on my merry way when I give AOL the boot.
I'll check it out!

Yeah Baby! Gotta love those flavor injectors!
My Roast Recipe Make that one enough times and a heart attack will come to collect its dues LOL.

I hear you with the birds! [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]
The first year I got here to Texas, the ones that hang out around here drove one of the neighbors into blasting a shotgun up the tree in his front yard. Pissed him off too, he didn't kill one bird, they didn't shut up and another neighbor called the cops on him [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I have the honor of owning a part hound dog with a hound's bay that is really hilarious to listen to. As obnoxious a sound as it is, I could have a heart attack laughing at it. He wakes me up early every day baying at the old-lady-speed-walkers in the neighborhood.
I need to get my mic back from Rex and record it one of these days.

WOW this place looks hi-def on my new monitor...

uh yeah... anyway... I just installed the Real One, too, it's not as good as I though it would be, compared to quicktime, but then again I am a mac user on a PC so... er... how can I actually like this? OH YEAH the games... i like those...

And if you wnat radio on your computer do what my hubby did LOL! Install a pci FM card with a nice loooong antenna on the back! LOL!! Looks like the computer is hanging off the wall! ROFL! [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img]

[QB]Hey get a sound of that dog in his fits and I'll host it for you! Stuff like that is too good to pass by *LOL*
Oh and thanks for the roast recipe! I'll get a couple of recipes for you tomorrow. You ever had amphibian relish? Is mighty good stuff!!! hehe

P.S. Sounds like you got some really crazy neighbours *LOL*. Ah well.....at least they don't die on ya *LMAO*

So Minno, are you still on dial up ?

Real Player can get boring after a while. Remember that if you are looking for hours of enjoyment, to reffer to my link somewhere on page one of this thread. Just be sure to set it to repeat and you can't go wrong!

Okay so this is page one. My mistake...heh

[ 08-21-2002, 02:08 PM: Message edited by: Bokken ]

Yeah, I will make sure to get the mic back from Rex when he gets up. Hercules has been at it every day here lately. It is really funny and I would be happy to send it your way. :D

Enjoy that roast! If you hit the back button on that page it will take you to an index of everything I have posted there...good stuff all around! Ladyzekke has some recipes there and LoA will too as soon as he gets off work and names his pork butt LOL.

Send me some recipes, I'll post them if they are edible LOL!
Amphibian relish...can't say that I have but if you can use baby toads, I've got a couple hundred in my back yard! [img]graemlins/eating.gif[/img]

Yeah, gotta love the neighbors! They make me look sane! ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/1dizzy.gif[/img]

[img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img] Yeah

Anyone who can provide me with a direct url to download the proposely free real player? I am not going to fill out all that crap and give up my creditcard number just to get some that is supposed to be free to download.

[img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img] Yeah</font>[/QUOTE]your phonebills must be insane high then, my last phonebill made me order ADSL right away. That bill almost killed me. you're online quite a bit, how do you survive ? :D

Unlimited access for 26.00 a month :D
As soon as we get cable in this area, the dial up account and one of the three phone lines in this house are going out the window. :D

I'm not sure where you went but even though I do not have it here is the link.

Free Version Real Player Download Link

The link to get the free version is in an obscure part of the upper right hand corner of the page...no 14-day trial crap and no having to give personal information, just an 8MB download lol

[img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] Thanks for the direct link Bokken!

[ 08-21-2002, 02:22 PM: Message edited by: Moni ]

And toss one of the phones out the window with it! Has added effect!

btw I'd run my network cable to your house but I've estimated it to be a bit over 100 metres and 100 metres is the max before you start having problems or it doesn't work at all. Sorry but at least I tried...*LOL*

Oh and the link to Real Player is actually in Huge Letters on the Lower Right hand corner...hehe

Nah, it's just AOHell playing hell with your browser there [img]tongue.gif[/img]

LOL of course you can just don't go Rip Van Winkle on me LOL. ;) :D

Yeah the day I can cast out the demon known as AOL is the day I do a double-back-flip as painful as it will be LOL.

Hey why don't you just go Texas.net? At least they got the name going for them...heh

Because Copernic didn't find it LOL. Thank you! I will check it out!

I was just kidding but please yourself...heh
I'm off however. 5:13am. Time little boys were in bed before those twisted evil birds wake up to wreak havoc! Have a good one and don't stay up too late! Also try to have a coffee or some food in between all this posting. It will keep you more active to post longer (if posting longer than this is possible) *LOL*

Texas.net looks great so far! 20 times more personal web space for less money too!
I've printed out the form to send for a bank draft payment and sent the link to Rex...now if I could just bring myself to go wake him LOL.
*BIG HUGS* Bokken! I can't tell you enough that YOU ROCK!
